Whenever someone makes the choice to enter a new career, there are more than a few things to consider. There’s no time that this is more apparent than when your new career venture includes going to work for yourself – whether as a virtual assistant, a consultant or the owner of another small business.

There are going to be places like the Small Business Association that offer general resources to entrepreneurs, but if you are indeed starting a VA business, do you know where you’ll turn to find resources for virtual assistants that will help ensure that you’ve got everything you need set in motion?

VirtualU is set up to offer the resources that you need – coaching, help laying out a business plan, tips for recruiting clients, choosing a specialty and a network of other VAs who have already been there and know the ropes.

What better resource is there than someone who has already gone through? Where else can you go to network with others who are starting out and, like you, have specialty services – people with whom you can exchange clients or get some help when you need backup?

Knowing where to turn is key to a successful business – because, invariably, there are going to be times when you need direction. Why make starting a great business more difficult than it needs to be?
